HornetQ 2.0 Breaks Industry-Standard Benchmark

Last month, JAXenter reported
that HornetQ had released version 2.0 of their Message Orientated
Middleware (MoM). Now, that same version has broken the benchmark
record for enterprise message-oriented middleware server
performance.

Researchers at the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
(SPEC) have been evaluating the performance of enterprise
message-oriented middleware servers based on JMS (Java Message
Service) against their SPECjms2007 industry-standard benchmark.

The peer-reviewed SPECjms2007 provides a standard workload and
performance metrics for product comparisons, and a framework for
in-depth performance analysis of enterprise messaging platforms.
SPECjms2007 measures the end-to-end performance of all components
that make up the application environment.

Using the new HornetQ 2.0.0.GA, six results were submitted to
the SPEC and accepted for publication. These results have broken
the record for all SPECjms2007 benchmarks – by 307%.

The full results can be viewed at the Databases and
Distributed Systems Group website.
